The Municipality of South Huron is considering the development of a new community hub / recreation centre. As part of the information gathering process the Municipality is hosting a series of focus group sessions to engage local organizations and recreation groups for their input.

Designed and facilitated by the YMCA, these focus groups will be used to determine the future needs of local organizations and recreation groups, which will help inform the development of new or enhanced community recreation facilities within South Huron. This input is vital to the project and we are asking group representatives to attend one of the following sessions:

CULTURE & SERVICE CLUBS Focus Group: Monday, November 26th 2018, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM

AQUATICS Focus Group: Tuesday, November 27th 2018, 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM

SPORTS & FITNESS Focus Group: Monday, December 3rd 2018, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM CANCELLED

ICE, SPORTS & FITNESS USERS Focus Group: Wednesday, December 12th 2018, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM

In advance of each session, the YMCA is asking participants to come prepared with the following information.

1)      Demographic profile of your organization’s participants

  • Ages/genders served
  • Residency of participants
